Dear Sue
Thank you so much for taking the time to comment, and I do appreciate and value your concerns.
I've had my share of redundancies over the years as well, and they sent me on adventures I was surprisingly soon very glad of. We never stop learning in life, do we! But - I can appreciate why the ezine hit a raw nerve. Sorry about that.
You'll also be pleased to know that we've often had university students do work for us, and right now we've got a 2d year engineering student helping with our IT/web things. One of the ways I think the 'flat world' of Thomas Friedman really brings value is that everyone in any country can tender for work in any other country, if they're some kind of knowledge worker. You might find the book very interesting - and he does address the concerns of taking work away from the country of source. In a short review there's no way I could address every point, as I'm sure you'll appreciate
